Want To Buy Or Trade: Mid-size cedar Lowden or Avalon

[Rosewood99]

Must have a cedar top, 14 fret, 1.75 nut width, with a string spacing of 2 3/16 or 2 1/4. My budget is between $2500 and $3500. Might be open to something smaller, like an S size.

I have a McIlroy A25 for sale in Switzerland. Shipping to the US is no problem.

If you look at my signature, you’ll see I already have a McIlroy A25. And as I mentioned, I’m looking for Avalon or Lowden. also the A25 has a string spacing that slightly less than 2 3/16. The measurements in your ad on string spacing are not correct. I verified that with Dermot McIlroy.

Sorry about that - I don't have signatures turned on so I missed that you already have an A25.

In my ad I have the dimensions listed in metric and the imperial equivalent in brackets for those that don't like metric. It's true that 2 3/16" is actually 55.56mm, but it seems to be a convention in the guitar world to round and say that 45mm = 1 3/4" and 55mm = 2 3/16".

Sorry if I caused any confusion. At the very worst, at least you got two free bumps from me

All the best in your search,
Brian

No worries. Good luck with your sale. That's a fine guitar.

No affiliation, but Cedar Rock Studio (in Shelburn, IN) has a few Lowden cedar top models.

Can’t afford new ones. Looking for used.

The Lowdens are all used models on the Cedar Rock site.

Could’ve fooled me by the prices. Way too over priced, especially compared to similar guitars that have been on this forum.
